Hear what our members have to say

“WYSE Travel Confederation is an essential tool for someone in international exchange and youth travel. When we have a new product to introduce, WYSE members are our immediate target. The contacts we have made over the years have led to success stories for us many times. If you are in this industry, WYSE Travel Confederation is a must!”

Kevin Morgan

Chairman, Academic Language Solutions – iTEP

“Greenheart International has attended nearly all in-person WYSTC events and most WETM-IAC events over the past 20+ years. The events have played an instrumental role in our organization’s success over the years by giving us an opportunity to connect with current and prospective business partners, increase our knowledge of industry topics, network with our competitors, and form positive relationships with industry peers.
It’s difficult to imagine how our organization would have grown and maintained a healthy network of business partners over the past 30+ years without being a WYSE Travel Confederation member. “
Jason Nusser

VP of Business Development & Operations, Greenheart International

“Being a WYSE Travel Confederation member positively impacted our group sales. Events, like STAY WYSE, made it possible to network with a great variety of the industry and successfully close deals. Furthermore, it gives us the security to stay up to date, about other members, partners, and the youth travel industry itself.”
Raphaela Bock

Head of Sales, Wombat's City Hostels

“We have been members of WYSE and attending the conferences for more than 10 years. There is no better way to engage with the youth travel community than via the WYSE network. We’ve met sponsors, agents, partners and friends, who help each other to grow our respective businesses. The access to decision makers and sense of community has been invaluable to us. “
Enda Kelleher

Vice President, Sprintax USA

“The WYSE community has enabled me to expand my network and access a wealth of resources and knowledge. I have been able to learn from the experiences of other professionals in the field, share best practices, and gain valuable insights that have helped me enhance my own business.
WYSE has been instrumental in helping me stay informed, connected, and inspired in the dynamic world of youth and student travel.”
